Get to know our partner, Be Positive!

March 25, 2012

We are excited to join forces with Be Positive (B+) for the Skate-A-Thon.

The Andrew McDonough B+ Foundation honors the life of 14-year-old Andrew who battled leukemia and sepsis before leaving us on July 14, 2007. The B+ Foundation is about kids helping kids fight cancer- by providing financial and emotional support to families of children with cancer, and by providing childhood cancer research grants.

We got the chance to meet the founder, Joe McDonough (Andrew’s dad) in person and his compassion and drive was infectious. He even offered to meet with participants in the Skate-A-Thon to help inspire the skaters to reach their fundraising goals.
